Giix Crud

Hi everyone,
I'm using GIIX for CRUD operations on tables.
is not well documented so I have a lot of doubts.

i'm using an example to explain my problem:

we have these tables

ARTICLES
article_id | title | description | author_id

AUTHORS
author_id | name | etc...

How can I use GIIX, automatically, to generate a CRUD for the ARTICLES table that for insertion and search operations, instead of using a text input for author_id, give me a dropdown list with the names of authors?

hi rodrigo! i'm still here...
i've start using your extension and... it's great! saving time has never been so easy. thank you!

Thanks for the compliment! You can leave your vote on the extension page (the thumb icon).

why in the create view for the Authors insertion, there are checkboxes with all the Articles to choose from?

That's because giix doesn't know the specific requirements of your app.
This could apply for other app or for other relation, but is not the best strategy for this specific form.
After the code is generated, you will have to make changes to adapt it to your specific requirements. In this case, you will simply remove the checkboxes.

voted! you deserve a donation also. let me finish this work so i'll get some money.

And a pro tip: you will avoid headaches by following these conventions.

Yeah sure. i'm trying to follow them (everything but i really can't use tbl_ prefix). the example (articles and authors) is not what i'm really doing, so i've just wrote them in uppercase to make them more visible.
